This article is an unfinished work in progress or contains transferred information that needs to be rewritten or reformatted to fit our standards. Please excuse the mess and do not mark for deletion.

These are the various kinds of rock (or as they are frequently referred to, walls).

As opposed to Ground Types, walls surround the Level and under most circumstances, cannot be traversed. Any type of wall except Seams and Solid Rock can be turned into Reinforced Walls, and every wall except Solid Rock and Recharge Seams can be mined. All walls are designated in the Surf.map file.

Soil in a rock texture

Soil is an unused rock type. Its drill times, tool tip name, and textures still exist within the game data, but it cannot be placed in a map without swapping it around with a used wall type by hex-editing the executable file. It was presumably meant to be much weaker than dirt, and unused sound files indicate it may have been originally called "Soft Soil" and Dirt "Hard Soil".

Soil was likely meant to be designated with a hexadecimal value of 05 00 in the Windows version. Unfortunately, its ability to be designated seems to have been disabled for some reason, meaning it can't be used at all.
